Re: [WIP] ArenaNet Art Test: Female
Agreed 100% with Swizzle. Look at those Hazardous course threads and especially pay attention to the references they've gathered. Look at the shape of the female face and practice drawing it, and then practice sculpting it. Look up anatomy reference, look at the way muscles flow into each other. Look at female silhouettes… -
Re: Advice on what 3D course to choose?
Honestly, employers care about your portfolio and attitude above all else. Nobody I know gives a shit about what kind of degree you have if you're a badass artist. If you have a degree, that's just peachy, but it's not going to land you a job if you don't have a portfolio of solid work to back it up. If you're absolutely… -
Re: Changing Focus - 3d Artist to Designer
I'm almost in the same spot as you, started to experiment with 2d some months ago and everything was scary because i didn't know anything about drawing or painting. Now i have an idea of where i need to go and my 2d skills are better than i would have never imagine, even when university keeps getting on my way and… -
Re: Question: Topology and polycount?
If a prop doesn't deform, the rules are pretty simple. Use most of the geometry for stuff that effects the silhouette. Avoid very long and skinny triangles. Pay attention to smoothing groups, if you aren't using a work flow with synced normal map tangents, you might need to use control loops. If you are using vertex… -
Re: iOS performance Issues - RenderForwardAlpha.Render
Figured it out. So, in xCode, I turned on the profiler, and my cpu-wait-gpu was super high, which meant I was GPU bound. This means it had something to do with graphics. So I went through and looked at all my shaders and particles and draw cells. There were a couple of particles that were made early on by others that had a… -
Re: Is Eastern style a downside for me to get a job?
Hmm i think i saw it too, i think you need a professional title so they give you one to work outside your country. I'm getting a software engineer title in 1 year but does it coun't if i'm traveling for an art position? shakerzero i don't have portfolio yet, started like 2 years ago into 3d but actually i'm working on… -
Re: Are YOU an artist?
Tic-tac-toe requires no creativity to play. Only knowledge is required. The game can be "solved" by following rules. In 2008, chess has never been solved yet, even by our most powerful computers. It cannot be played automatically. It requires human creativity. Today's computers "play chess" in the same way that game… -
Re: Which tablet should I buy?
I've been using my Wacom Intuos 3 for many years now and haven't really kept up with what's out on the market atm but here are a couple of things I've found out the hard way. Don't get anything below A5. While they're cheaper, they're too sensitive when drawing (mapping that small drawing area to your whole screen). Don't… -
Re: [Civil War] Spark vs. Gav vs. Hazardous vs. Slipgate
Wow, ok did not expect this to blow up so soon! Although I should have expected it with talents such as Gav, Hazardous, and Slipgate:) I have been busy as of late so do have some ideas that I will be posting up this weekend ( with some sketches ) But here is a drawing I did a long time ago that I always liked, and thought… -
Re: ps3 graphics VS Xbox360 ( no flamewars )
Ha wow I was just looking at Gamespot and they have a 360 vs PS3 article going with comparison images . The difference between the 2 is very small . Seems to me that the Ps3 can draw more polys ( models have higher poly counts ) and the draw distance is maybe a little better but the 360 has a bit better lighting and a…
